Wifi password behind the TV. On cable.The property has two gates: The main wooden gate and a green metal gate.The wooden gate closes up automatically behind you. BUT: the green metal gate you need to close manually every NIGHT so wild little pigs do not come in and turn our lawn up side down!! :)

As if it would be their home:Respectful. No shoes is great because we have terra cotta floors in and outside. Great feeling. Clean after yourself.Switch off all outdoor and indoor lights when you leave the house.Close all doors when you leave the house.Wash all beach and pool towels and hang them up on the clothing lines. most of what you have used!Do not leave laundry/ towels all over the house and garden. Put all sheets, kitchen towels, towels, ... everything nicely downstairs in front of the washing maschine.CLose green metal gate EVERY NIGHT!!

We had a marvelous time in Tani's house. The house, the pool and the park are amazing. From there you can reach the beaches and other nice places in Costa Smeralda with just few minutes by car. Tani end her mother, Margrit, were very nice end considerate. We want to thank them for this special holiday and we hope to go back there in Finca Monticanaglia next year .
Thank you for everything, Sonia

We just got back from a trip to Tani's place. Here are some positives about the property:
1. Amazing location - everything was less than a 10 minute drive away
2. Overall a beautiful house especially the terrace, gardens and swimming pool. Lots of space in the house, and the house is generally very neat and clean although the kitchen is functional at best and looks a bit worse for wear.
3. Initial communication from the host - she sent us detailed emails with directions, restaurant suggestions, beaches to visit etc - all very helpful
4. Lucia (cleaning lady) is very nice.
However there were a few things that were disappointing and ultimately did sour our trip a fair bit:
1. The host is extremely inflexible. Her approach is that she will give you all the information and help that she thinks is needed, but if you ask for anything more then she doesn't like it and is very rude about it. For example, we asked her if she could ask the cleaning lady to buy some eggs, bread, butter ( and a couple of other things) as we were travelling with kids and getting there late in the night. Now we have asked for this type of help a couple of times and usually the hosts either help or politely decline (and either is fine of-course), but Tani grudgingly agreed to ask Lucia (cleaning lady) to do it kept taunting us that perhaps we should have stayed in a hotel if this is the kind of service we want.
Also, the bill for the shopping was €25 and she wanted us to tip Lucia €25 for her time! We did tip Lucia €25 because we did not want to argue but it was unreasonable.
2. There is a cat in the property and we got a call from Tani's mother asking us to be nice to the cat and put some water / milk out if we feel like. As such we don't mind of-course (and my kids were excited about feeding the cat) but the big problem was: we were never informed of the cat before (the listing had no mention and none of Tani's pre-visit emails mentioned it), and a couple of members of our trip are allergic to cats. If we knew about the cat situation we may not have booked this trip.
In general, every interaction with the host was painful (there were a couple more such situations) as she doesn't understand english very well which led to constant misunderstanding, with Tani then replying rudely to us on a number of occasions - something that has never happened with me and my family on any trip before.
Overall - very nice property, beautiful views, location etc, but keep in mind that any requests you make (however reasonable) may not be accommodated.

Vipul: 1 week booking: 13/08:” all good”, 17/08: “beautiful home, can we check out later”. 6 days NO complaint! Who wants to stay longer when he has ‘cat allergies and I am such a bad host’?
Vipul did not respect our home, our housekeeper Lucia of 19 years (not a cleaning lady!) and myself. He treated us like his servants and he is the superior. Our Villa was left trashed with garbage on the floors in bedrooms, bathrooms, damage to furniture, glassware and marks on walls. We contacted Airbnb. Our first bad experience. We went out of our way to accommodate his request for food shopping prior to his arrival and a private chef request. But he expected that all for a tiny “tip” although I did confirm with him in writing to pay Lucia accordingly for her time and gas. We all have kids. Every guest has kids. At check-in, his friend was very condescending and dismissive to our Lucia. Did not walk with her when she wanted to show him our Villa and property. She gave him the WIFI login. Language problem about money? You are online and can (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) for translation. Lucia was so upset that she did not want to come back at check-out! Furthermore, Vipul contacted her without our knowledge nor permission to get him someone to cook for them but yet had not paid her for her first food shopping. She called us immediately. We do not pay our employees a “tip”. We do pay them properly for their services. They gave her 1.5 Euros! She said this is not enough. V’s friend added 2Euros! August 17, when Vipul asked for an extension I wrote him back that we can not do that due to new guests checking in the same day at 4pm. I also asked him when he sees Lucia at check-out, to reimburse her for that first food shopping and that a ‘tip’ is not enough. A constant text battle started! I asked him to give Lucia 20Euros at least. He got very (!) argumentative and said to me: “You should go on now with your day”. That was the first time also when he pulled out the “cat” argument!
This is a PET FRIENDLY listing!! Ask before doing an "instant booking!" Guests can bring an elephant if they want to..
The cat is an OUTDOOR cat ONLY who came to us through a previous guests from Airbnb. We asked Vipul, to NOT give her ‘pasta’ to not get her used to the house because nobody is there throughout the winter. She goes to other homes too. Sardegna is full of cats. It is unavoidable to have cats coming around!
Everybody in my family is a doctor: 1.) Nobody who has allergies books instantly a pet friendly home, 2.) does feeds a cat and 3.) you do not get an allergy from an outdoor cat. You tell me you start sneezing when you see a cat outside 20meters away from you? How is that possible? We are on a 4 acre property. Cats keep mice or rats away! You are lucky if you see one!
1 week booking: 6 DAYS NO COMPLAINS & ASKED TO STAY LONGER. There is so much more to say but really not worth it! It is a Multi Million Dollar home which we opened up to the Airbnb community! Vipul should not be a member!

The house is perfect. Huge kitchen and living room. We spend a week with 4 adults and 4 kids. We had really lovely time. There is whatever you need in that house. The garden is beautiful. Swimming pool is big than and safe for kids as it is not too close to the house. Tani answered very quickly to our requests. Very warm welcome when we arrived. I would definitely recommend this house to anybody. We also really enjoyed the quietness there.

We had a wonderful holiday. The house is located in a very quiet beautiful area. It's perfect to relax and enjoy your life. The owners of the house are very friendly and supportive. We can fully recommend booking this house.
